Miltank -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Miltank from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set. Miltank is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Miltank does not have an Ability but it does have two moves. The first move that this card has is called Max Milk, this move requires two colorless energy cards and heals all damage from one of your Pokemon, after healing the Pokemon, all energy cards must be discarded from Miltank. Miltank's second move is called Tackle, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Miltank is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card. With that being said, I wouldn't recommend using this card in your deck unless you have a Pokemon card with a really high hp on it, like an EX Pokemon. That way, you could put one of these Miltank cards in your deck, and use Max Milk on that EX Pokemon when it is close to being knocked out. Even if Miltank gets knocked out in the process, Miltank only allows your opponent to get one prize card whereas if the EX Pokemon was knocked out they would get two. Because Miltank has such a high retreat cost, I wouldn't use this card for its Tackle move, you can find many other basic Pokemon out there that can do the same type of damage.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. In my opinion, this is an average to very slightly below average basic Pokemon card from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card set. A few things I like about this card are its high hp, and the fact it has two moves that require colorless energy cards. If you use this Miltank card in the right type of deck it can really aid your team. Without using this card in that certain type of deck, this card has two average to below average moves, and a high retreat cost. So this card has some positives and negatives that really cancel each other out, that is why I'm giving this card an average rating, which is a 3 out of 5.

Only Miltank can learn Milk Drink. Technically, the comment about Smeargle is incorrect. Yes, Smeargle can use Sketch to copy Milk Drink, but Miltank is the only Pokemon that will learn it by leveling up.
